Applications and positioning
Fast color capture is the defining characteristic of MV-CB013-A0UC-C. Its 1/2-inch CMOS sensor combines a 1280 × 1024 output, 4.8 µm pixels, global shutter and 201 fps operation. USB 3.0 carries the image stream, while the C-mount and 35 mm × 35 mm × 8.6 mm body provide a finished optical interface for compact equipment.
The global exposure makes the camera suitable for color checks on moving parts, feed monitoring and mechanism analysis where shape must be held during motion. A 9 µs minimum exposure supports short light pulses, and two bidirectional non-isolated I/O lines can connect trigger or timing signals. USB 3.0 also supplies 5 VDC power; typical consumption is 2.8 W, so image transfer and power share the host connection.
Within the 1.3 MP group, MV-CB013-A0UM-C retains the C-mount and 201 fps rate but records mono images at a typical 1.6 W. MV-CB013-A0UM-B is also mono and reduces the assembly to a 32.5 mm × 32.5 mm × 1.6 mm single board without a lens mount. Select MV-CB013-A0UC-C when color information and a ready C-mount take priority; select either A0UM version for mono processing, with the B variant reserved for deeper mechanical integration.

Selection and applications
Color inspection of moving components. High-rate mechanism observation. Triggered embedded image capture.
Minimum kit: Use the camera with a C-mount lens for the 1/2-inch sensor and a USB 3.0 cable connected to a host that supplies 5 VDC power.
Nearby in the range: MV-CB013-A0UM-C — Choose it for mono 1280 × 1024 capture at 201 fps with the same C-mount body; MV-CB013-A0UM-B — Choose it when a 32.5 mm × 32.5 mm × 1.6 mm mono single board must be built into the device.

FAQ
Which motion conditions suit the global shutter in MV-CB013-A0UC-C?
All pixels use a global exposure, so moving components can be recorded without the line-by-line timing associated with a rolling shutter. The camera reaches 201 fps at 1280 × 1024, while exposure can be shortened to 9 µs when the illumination level and motion demand it.
How are data and electrical power connected to MV-CB013-A0UC-C?
The USB 3.0 connection carries image data and provides the specified 5 VDC supply. Typical camera consumption is 2.8 W, so the base installation uses a USB 3.0 host connection rather than a separate camera power feed.
What lens interface is provided by MV-CB013-A0UC-C?
The camera has a C-mount in a 35 mm × 35 mm × 8.6 mm assembly. Lens selection therefore starts with a C-mount optic that covers the 1/2-inch sensor, resolves the 1280 × 1024 image and matches the required field of view.
What trigger connections are available on MV-CB013-A0UC-C?
Two bidirectional non-isolated I/O points are provided as Line 2 and Line 5. They give the integrator camera-side lines for trigger or timing coordination, while USB 3.0 remains the path for image transfer and the power supply.
How does MV-CB013-A0UC-C differ from the mono C-mount version?
MV-CB013-A0UC-C outputs color images and draws a typical 2.8 W at 5 VDC. MV-CB013-A0UM-C is mono and is specified at a typical 1.6 W, while both use the same 1280 × 1024 resolution, 201 fps ceiling and C-mount format.
